Pickleball

CAN YOU HAN-DILL THE PICKLE?

The craze that is sweeping the nation has made it to the YMCA of Greater Erie….PICKLEBALL!!

Pickleball is a paddleball sport (similar to a racquet sport) that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, with 26-40 round holes, over a net.

We offer Adult Open Play times & Adult Instructional Sessions for members (see branch specific schedules below) as well as an Adult League for everyone and instructional clincs for the kiddos, too!

OPEN PLAY

No registration required for general play! Instructor led sessions require registration.

Nets/Pickleballs are provided by the YMCA during Open Play Sessions, but require setup/teardown by participants.
